Ask Patty Mentioned in FYI Blog: iPods Find a Home Inside HHRs

I am so excited about GM's latest cool accessory. We've just
developed the Personal Audio Link — my new PAL — an affordable device
that allows iPod
users to integrate their music players with the factory installed audio
system in GM vehicles. Just imagine... your tunes delivered through the
clear, quality sound of GM's audio system.

It'll be available in Chevrolet HHRs
beginning in October with 55 more GM vehicles to come, most by the end
of 2007. You can pick it up at dealerships this fall for less than
$160, plus installation.

The device will display artist, title and genre information from the
iPod on the vehicle's radio display. Users will be able to sort,
shuffle and seek songs as well as sort and select podcasts and audio
books. You'll be able to control the iPod using the radio controls, and
if your GM vehicle has steering wheel volume controls, those will work
on the iPod, too.

People love their iPods and we think it's pretty cool to give people another way to enjoy them in their GM vehicles.
